QR code
"The Sorrows of Satan" by Marie Corelli is a Faustian novel published in 1895. Geoffrey Tempest, a starving author, suddenly inherits a fortune and befriends the charismatic aristocrat Lucio—who is actually the Devil in disguise. As Tempest's wealth brings only misery, the novel explores Satan's own yearning for salvation and redemption. This controversial bestseller critiques Victorian society's moral bankruptcy while mixing Christian themes with popular ideas like reincarnation and Theosophy. Despite savage
criticism from literary circles, it became one of the world's first bestsellers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
